Hillary, You Didn’t Win. Now Don’t Whine

As a non-white woman under 35, I was having trouble understanding the level of 'rage' and indignation that some of the more vocal Hillary supporters (as mentioned) were exhibiting in almost caricature-like (or so it seemed to me) proportions. I felt that the campaign was just preying upon emotions and playing up the you-go-girl angle on overdrive--I frankly found it bizarre, ludicrous, and troubling. However, I appreciate this article--it helped me attempt to see that emotion on display from a different perspective. For what it's worth, I feel like I can better understand where they're coming from. I hope they'll realize, though, that this is not their one chance. Every year, more women pick up more positions of power in the realm of politics. But I also hope they'll realize that not all males who didn't vote for HRC are "misogynists." I think of my father, who has long said that a woman would better run this country. He would gladly vote for a woman--not voting for her wasn't about her gender whatsoever. There were more important things to consider--like character, track record, leadership style, vision. I think that when we get to the point where all men judge a candidate based on those things--not seeing gender as a negative--it'll be a new day. The new day is just not the day that we all vote for a woman because she's a woman. But now I understand why it's valid for some to do that.

Hussein Obama and the Obamabots must feel very proud of their " empty ' win. The bum won because the primary process was rigged for him to win. Hussein Obama didn't win on his own merit.

Come November , Hussein Obama will earn a nice defeat. People will elect an American for President..McCain.

This reporter as well as other writers and speakers, pundits forget how close the number of

supporters there are. This was not a runaway nomination.

Now that Obama is the Democratic Nominee the whole weight of all the challenges over the next few

months is tremdous. Obama has to find some way to convince over 18 million American who

supported Hillary to vote for him. He hasn't done it so far.

Obama's speeches seem so good as compared to President Bush's verbal fumblings and logic.
So I can see how people can be misled. He doesn't have any real plans at least not well

researched or effective. Now Obama has to work twice as hard making the campaign trail seem like

nothing. He has very little time to really be honest and sincere in addressing the critical

issues for the American people.

We need effective action day one for four years if he is elected.
The republicans don't care if my family has healthcare. The republicans don't care if my family

members have a job that pays a living wage. Otherwise Obama will bomb big time.

ONLY A WOMAN COULD GET AWAY WITH TOUTING VICTIM AT EVERY TURN! PEOPLE WOULD NOT TAKE THAT FROM A MAN! THEY WOULD DESTROY A WHINER MAN.HILLARY DID NOT WIN THE POPULAR VOTE. IF SHE DID THAN WHY IS SHE LOSING? IT LIKE THE BOSNIA STORY IF YOU REPEAT IT ENOUGH TIMES THE PUBLIC THINKS IT TRUE!

It has been a fascinating political cycle. As a woman, I have realized that we have a long distance to cross to achieve a gender neutral society. I watched as Father Flager ridiculed a senator of the United States on the basis of her being white and female. Something tells me that if Senator Clinton would have had a minister in her home church do a similar sermon but reversed the names, sexes and races, the media would have declared it a fatal blow. NBC, Newsweek, MSNBC in the form of commentators like should register themselves as political lobbyist for the Obama campaign. Women have long memories. Please do not attempt to tell us how we should think. I look forward to President McCain and hope he would be bipartisan enough to select Hillary as his running mate. Mrs. Clift please do not attempt to speak for women. We can speak for ouselves and we will.

ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE DID SPEAK AND POPULAR VOTE HAS HRC WINNING---BUT NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER HAND FULL OF PEOPLE THAT GO AGAINST THE POPULAR VOTE AND CHOSE OBAMA...ONLY IN AMERICA!!!!

God has spoken
The Democratic Party has spoken
The people of America have spoken

Obama is the nominee!!!

God bless Senator Obama!!

This is just more crazy Newsweek blog propaganda based on personal bias, an unwillingness to be enlightened and puerile attacks. Aren't you of the same generation? You just don't get it. There is a huge chasm that just keeps widening because of articles like this and Obama bloggers. He wants to unite the Party? Then let Senator Clinton have the popular vote. Why did he have to accept the four Michigan delegates? He's doing nothing to heal the divide. George McGovern and NARAL coming out the day after her huge win in WV. Claiming the nomination Tuesday night would irreparably split that chasm. Wednesday after a final night of celebration - fine. Then Al Gore can cast the deciding vote with full pomp and circumstance in front of the MSM and then the slaying of the Clintons will be complete. The Vanity Fair article was timed to make sure that there was no chance of Senator Clinton being offered the VP job because of Bill. Who derailed the campaign? Bill. Who owned the campaign? The DNC and MSM especially Newsweek. This campaign was decided in part behind closed doors and so it can never be considered non-biased - unless there exists a complete recording of the proceedings. The Democratic Party directly impacted the process thus corrupting it. Show some class and give Senator Clinton the respect of the next 24 hours if you even remember what it is. Think. Why would Senator Clinton say she was getting out before the voters had a chance to really participate? So that their votes mattered too. This will never happen again. Get out of the picture and for once show Senator Clinton some respect. Any unification of the Party has to begin with the Obama camp which means the MSM/DNC. It's in your court. Do the right thing. Even if Rep. Clyburn went back on his promise to remain "neutral". What a joke.

"Guess what? Maybe all our Presidents are pre-determined by the "wise men" who run the country behind the scenes. Maybe a lot of folks, high and low, are just tired of the Clintons."

My comment:

Spoken like a true wiseman/woman. You nailed it. Spot on! Hit the mark!! Personally, I think the Wash-Establishment (aka: Insider Club) chooses who they want LONG in advance. Bottom line is each party takes its turn in the W.H. One Party's raises taxes and the other Party lowers taxes. And that's all by design, but I've already covered that in some of my other post. I come from a family of politicians, and for that reason, I chose to stay away. More of a personal thing. Plus, I've heard way too many horror stories of what really goes on behind close doors. No thank you folks!

Now most people here are going to think I crazy for saying this (esp Hill supporters), but I really believe that HRC was supposed to be the CHOSEN ONE this time around. She was supposed to walk right into the W.H. Heck, even "W" and the First Lady were saying that she was the most qualified candidate out there in the beginning of the Primary Season---heck, even before the primes started. Continued
